Deductions & credits

Yes, provided you are associated with kindergarten through 12th grade.  I believe you would qualify as a counselor.

"Eligible educators include anyone who is a kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal or aide in a school for at least 900 hours during the school year. Both public and private school educators qualify."

To post the expenses, go to:

  1. Deductions & Credits
  2. Scroll to Employment Expenses
  3. Select Teacher (Educator) Expenses
  4. Continue through the interview.

New school year reminder to educators; maximum educator expense deduction rises to $300 in 2022
